What is the difference between a horoscope and a birth chart?
Dr.VinayBajrangi: The Kundli, or Horoscope, as it is often known, is the foundation of Indian Vedic Astrology. Every person’s Kundli/Horoscope is as unique as their fingerprints. Those who are curious about the meaning of the diagonal lines and planets in a square should know that they represent the sky and the positions of the planets at the time of a native’s birth. A personal horoscope is a graphical depiction of the sky at the time of a person’s birth. The influence of each planet on the native is proportional to its distance from the native. We examine the distance between that planet and other planets, as well as its position and association with other planets, using the Horoscope. All of these characteristics determine the qualities that the planet will bestow on the native. A skilled astrologer evaluates these characteristics and predicts a native’s life events. Horoscope predictions are a form of foretelling.
DVB: You’re referring to the Lagna chart, often known as the D-1 chart. Although those born two hours apart may have the same Lagna chart, Vedic reading is not limited to the D-1 chart. The Lagna chart, together with its supporting charts, is read for any life forecast. The Lagna chart has up to twenty-seven supportive charts that are read in concert with each other. These charts are unique to each individual, and they have a significant impact on a person’s life. As a result, while some people have the same Lagna chart, their finer charts are very different, and they lead very diverse lives.
You should be aware that twins born with even a few minutes of separation can have completely distinct birth charts. It’s because some astrological placements change quite quickly, and the ascendant must change at a specific minute. Every four minutes, the degree of the planets changes. Now, if that exact minute comes between the twins’ birth gaps, the birth charts will vary dramatically. Furthermore, the divisional charts (which are the foundation of any correct prediction) can vary by Orbit.
Although two horoscopes may appear to be identical in appearance, they are not identical for astrological purposes.
Is it necessary to read all twenty-seven charts in addition to the Lagna chart in order to make an accurate prediction?
DVB: The amount of charts to read is determined by the type of reading required. Physical readings, former life readings, spiritual readings, karmic deficit readings, subconscious readings, devil readings, super-conscious readings, and supra-conscious readings are all types of readings. Although classifying the scope of these readings is beyond the scope of this discussion, I would suggest that at least three charts are read in tandem with the Lagna charts. I’d want to emphasize that after receiving these types of readings, a person can go through remarkable changes. Simply visit my website to learn more about what a whole life reading by date of birth entails. It will take you at least 30 minutes to read and comprehend what it really means.
What is the accuracy of past life readings? And what is the advantage?
DVB: A person’s Vedic Horoscope is given to them when they are born. And it is at this point that his path on this planet is defined. Why is it that one is shown a specific path without which one cannot survive even 10 seconds on this planet? As a result, the birth chart is assigned solely based on his past life karma, which may be gleaned from the person’s Vedic Kundali. The Kundli predictions reveal the type of life he lived in his previous incarnation and the work required to transform the negative aspects into more important aspects in this lifetime. The Sanchita, Prarabadha, and Agami Karmas theories are simple to understand but difficult to put into practice. A person who does not believe in past life readings has a slim possibility of correcting their karma in this lifetime. I believe that past life readings are an unavoidable aspect of Vedic Astrology before generating any horoscope forecasts.
DVBThe basic rules of Vedic astrology remain the same, and the accuracy of the predictions is determined by the individual who analyzes the horoscope and makes the predictions. It’s a professional world, and happily, we have ample exposure and transparency to verify many aspects before entrusting a birth chart to any competent astrologer. I can just give you a few considerations that every good astrologer should make before making any horoscope predictions:
- A person must possess some basic mathematical skills.
- Vedic Astrology is based on the theories of 18 ancient sages. However, any good must have a fundamental understanding of at least Bhrighu and Parashara, as well as clear hands-on experience with KP and Nadi Shastra. Though I will say modestly that I have expertise in all 18 of them, I only use them when completing whole life readings of someone.
- Before doing any chart analysis or generating predictions, you must know how to validate your birth time. Should be able to synchronize birth time if necessary.
- You must be able to connect your prior existence to planetary alignments. It is critical to understand a person’s ascendant.
- Instead of relying just on the D-1 Chart, relevant divisional charts must be considered. Let me tell you something: there are over 300 charts. However, all charts must be resorted to just for the purpose of making forecasts.
This makes a person a good astrologer on purpose, rather than by accident. Then one can check with one’s own wisdom:
- That astrologer has practical experience.
- Experience and history what the general public thinks about them?
- You can also look for the 3rd party’s referrals and presence on this astrologer’s other social media accounts.
- Avoid interacting with juniors or assistants in the office and instead speak directly with the astrologer on whom you wish to rely for horoscope forecasts.
DVB Online horoscopes are reliable if you have accurate birth information, choose a site that considers the Moon sign for Vedic astrology predictions, takes into account at least four planets, and has a large following. The use of an online horoscope to keep track of and generalize outcomes is ideal. On my website, I also publish a daily horoscope. However, for horoscope predictions on specific areas of concern/anxiety, I propose that you connect directly with the astrologer based on what I have previously stated; only then will you be able to receive accurate horoscope forecasts.

Is it possible to put astrology’s predictions to the test?
Astrology is a collection of belief systems that assert that there is a connection between astrological phenomena and events or personality traits in the human world. The scientific community has dismissed astrology as having no explanatory power for describing the universe. Scientific testing has discovered no evidence to back up the astrological traditions’ premises or alleged effects.
What is the accuracy of Vedic astrology?
Nakshatras, Dasa, Apaharas, Divisional charts, and other elements of Vedic astrology can be found. These offer in-depth analysis and insight into a person’s life. As a result, it is the most accurate astrological principle.
reality, and it represented a watershed moment in his career. Farahad Nathani, a friend and film distributor, then provided him a list of film titles to see which one would be lucky. “Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai” was the title he chose, then Jumaani added two extra A’s.
He left his 17-year profession as a marketing executive to follow in the footsteps of his father, Bansilal M Jumaani, and become a numerologist. Jumaani, an Astro numerologist, is frequently contacted by companies such as Kotak Mahindra Bank, Reliance Industries, Haldiram’s, and others. He has advised film and sports superstars like as the Bachchans, Irfan Khan, Anil Kumble, and even politicians such as Smriti Irani.
Swetta Jumaani, Bansilal Jumaani’s daughter, studied numerology under her father’s tutelage. She made a renowned forecast regarding the effects of Mars approaching Earth, which turned out to be correct. Swetta was always interested in numerology as a child, and she used to provide advice to her close friends and relatives. She projected that, beginning in 2004, the city of Pune would see a real estate boom and massive expansion, putting it on the international map. Swetta is now regarded as one of the world’s leading numerologists. She has contributed to numerous newspapers and publications with articles and columns. Her remarks have been broadcast on a variety of television and radio stations.

How do I know if I want to pursue a profession in Vedic astrology?
- Chapter 5 of Acharya Mantreshwar’s Phal Deepika is titled Karmaajevadhyaya.
- In Jaatak Paarijaat, volume 2, there is a chapter called Karmaaydvadashbhavfaladhyaayah that is identical.
These ideas are also presented in Shri R. Santanam’s Hora-saara, Chapter 22Livelihood, however there are allusions to the two astrological works mentioned above. Additionally, the shlokas give similar clues. Rajnan Publications produced both of these publications, which are available on their website.
The following factors are critical in determining one’s livelihood, vocation, profession, and field of work:
- Planets in the tenth house
- Planets that are navamsha lords of the 10th lord, as seen in the Lagna, Moon, and Sun: Make a note of the 10th Lord in the Lagna, Moon, and Sun. Note down the navamsha lords of these planets in the navamsha chart. These navamsha lords play a significant role.
- Lord of the 10th house cusp Nakshatra
The following are the high-level profession options based on the important planets:
- Sun: Medicine, medical equipment, general administration, king’s job, messengers, various government services, gold and rare gem dealing
- Moon: Import/export, travel, water-related vocations, ocean products, milk, liquids, artworks, particularly those made of earth, clothing & textiles
- Mars rules metals (excluding iron, which is ruled by Saturn), security (police, military, etc. ), income tax, excise, liquids (petroleum, petroleum products, chemicals), making money from any form of conflict, sports, and so on.
- Mercury is the planet of analysis, math, astrology, teaching, literature, communication, marketing, priesthood, authorship, and writing.
- Banking, advisors, consultants, teaching, finance, legal/judiciary, sales, and astrology are all ruled by Jupiter.
- Venus rules art, entertainment, and the sale of valuable and gleaming objects, as well as dairy, restaurants, banks, automobiles, apparel, and textiles.
- Saturn is the planet of general administration, unions, construction/infrastructure, iron ore, mining and cement industry, waste products, leather products, and grain sales.
Apart from the 10th house, the following houses can indicate a profession:
- Earnings are ruled by the second and eleventh houses, respectively. The second house represents savings, while the eleventh house represents money.
- The 6th house is a dusthana, but it is a vital aspect of the Artha trikon (2-6-10). In today’s world, where loans and money are critical for bootstrapping a business, the 6th house is a valuable asset. The 6th house governs healing and human relationships, and it is significant in the service industries, such as medicine, hospitality, law, and so on.
- The cornerstone of the chart is the lagna and the lagna lord. A powerful lagna lord will also imprint the profession.
Any of these four types of planets, if strong and additionally related with the 10th house by location or aspect, can have a significant impact on one’s career choice. Furthermore, the strongest planet in the chart, regardless of its position, will be able to exert a big influence on vocation. Surprisingly, the Lord of the Tenth House does not appear on this list. As a result, it can be deduced that the tenth lord has no direct influence on vocation. Instead, the 10th Lord has a significant impact on the environment in which a person works. While the state of the 10th house and 10th lord in the horoscope may indicate whether a person becomes a doctor, teacher, banker, or policeman due to navamsha ownership or location, the levels achieved in the profession, such as high or low status, self-respect, disdain, or dishonour, will be denoted by the state of the 10th house and 10th lord. The strength or weakness of the 10th house is influenced by planets with drishti/aspect on it. These planets will signify career ups and downs, as well as promotions. They would not, however, have an impact on a person’s choice of profession, as the 10th lord did. There are usually several planets in the horoscope that can impact a person’s vocation. Given the three tenth lords, there are three planets that are navamsha lords of tenth lords, as you can see (one each from Moon, Sun and Lagna). During their dasha/bhukti, each of these planets will gain importance. Running dasha/bhukti, of course, becomes highly vital. Dasha periods are responsible for a significant shift in a person’s career choice throughout the course of their lifetime.
Let’s look at a few examples. Gemini is rising and Lagna lord Mercury is in swakshetra in the 4th house in Bharat Ratna Sushree Lata Mangeshkar’s chart (Source: Kundali Sangrah, Tendulkar). As the 4th house is the home of the masses, this combination makes her famous and followed by all. Nonetheless, the Lagna lord is Sandhi, who is weaker than Moon. The Moon, the 2nd lord, is in the 2nd house of vaksiddhi, giving her an incredibly lovely voice. The 10th lord from the Moon is Mars, who is in Venus’ navansh, indicating that she is an artist. Apart from that, look at the positions of Jupiter, the lord of the 7th from Lagna, and Saturn, the lord of the 7th from Moon. Saturn is in the seventh house, which would have produced delays and stumbling blocks whenever she had considered marriage.
Other vocations are likewise simple to forecast. Because my 10th lord is in Mercury’s sign of Virgo in navansh, I am both a software engineer and an astrologer. The Sun and a strong 6th or 12th house signify good doctors.
Sports and politics are two professions that are not uncomplicated. Despite the fact that Mars is the planet of sports, good athletes are not guaranteed to have key planets in Mars’ navansh signs. Instead, they have a strong Mars at the foundation of their chart and Venus, the planet of amusement, governing their profession. This is most likely due to the fact that, in today’s world, sports are also entertainment.
Shri Mahendra Singh Dhoni, without a doubt a great sportsman, is the most famous of these horoscopes. His claim to fame, on the other hand, is from the T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League, both of which should be regarded entertainment. In the horoscope, there is a strong Bhadra Yoga in the 10th house, and Mercury, the 10th lord, is in Venus’ navamsha. Mars is the 3rd Lord, and it is aspecting its own house of parakram from the 9th house, giving his art a Martian tint. He is a successful businessman, the CEO of a sports firm, and an actor who appears in a variety of commercials. Yes, he is an excellent athlete, but to claim that athletics are his primary occupation would be deceptive.
Venus is also a planet of grace and flair, whereas Mars represents competition. I’ve seen children who excelled in athletics, had incredible grace, concentration, and form/style, and received positive encouragement from their coach, yet struggled in competition. Venus was powerful, Mars was weakened, and the child struggled in competitive sports.
Bharat Ratna has a number of charts. The presence of Sachin Tendulkar on the internet makes judging the 10th house harder. Regardless of the debate about his birth date, his chart is an illustration of how powerful planets fulfill their karakatva and direct an individual’s fate. It makes no difference where they live or which houses they are in charge of. Both Mars and the Sun are near the degrees of maximal exaltation in Sachin’s chart, 1029 for the Sun in Aries and 2642 for Mars. As a result, he is a warrior. Sun’s exaltation suggests that he has always had the support of the government and higher-ups. He may have been a high-ranking general in the Indian armed forces if he hadn’t been an athlete.
It is difficult for politicians to define their calling. Politics is public service, but politicians’ primary occupation is something else. For this piece, I did not use politicians as examples.
